Grand winner of 2023 world munpia contest, manhwa announced.

Cheon Yeonho, a game director, dies from overwork and is sent to Hell. The only thought in his mind seeing the hellish scenes of Hell was…

“It would be fun to make this word into a game.”

Surprisingly, he does get the chance to make his dreams a reality. He goes back in time, to his college days in 2008. He will pursue artistic and gameplay perfection to make the games on Hell with the help of his colleagues and friends. Collapse

    Holy shit this is great.

    I’m not eloquent, but I’ll say that this story does a phenomenal job at immersing you in its story. Getting caught up in the planning and design and lore of the game development (especially knowing that it’s based on the reality of the story’s actual hell) as well as the excitement and emotions of the gamers.

    Brilliant translation, I only actively noticed 2 mistakes in 50 chapters, and the translator does an amazing job at captivating you with their vocabulary.

    The characters are… well, characters. MC is extremely driven, and while he keeps his emotions relatively on the down low, his almost maddening need to put his experiences out there and his commitment to making quality games in a way that runs counter to the modern game theory really makes him a character you can’t help but enjoy reading about

    There are (as chapter 50) 5 other main characters, all a part of the development team. The art director, sound director, second programmer, and two art workers.

    The directors both get a lot of time in story to develop their personalities, challenges, and emotions. They are distinct individuals, which is a sense aided by their own PoVs.

    For the secondary workers, the two art workers haven’t had too much screen time yet, they aren’t really separate from each other - acting mostly as a “bubbly and overwhelmingly friendly” aid to establish/interact with more socially withdrawn and ‘lonely’ characters.

    The secondary programmer is the newest of these characters, and is unique enough for a reader to get a sense of a ‘self’ regarding him.

    One issue some people will have is PoV switching. There are a few POV switches, and they aren’t always delineated in a way that makes them immediately understandable as to who we are following. Some readers don’t like other PoVs at all, but this story relies on them to show the inner thoughts and motivations and character interactions within the group. It’s a tool that’s used well, and helps us connect to each character.

    Translation however, seems like it’ll be slow. It has quality and good length per chapter, but for long term webnovel readers used to 1000s of chapters I understand you’d be turned off by a low chapter count. Good news it you can read through chapter 50 as it’s own self-contained story if you’d like.

    Some readers also won’t like the Korean webnovel writing style, I’d advise you give it a chance.

    For me, it’s definitely a 9/10 novel.
